The New York Jets’ star cornerback, Sauce Gardner, has caught the golf bug.

The former fourth overall pick has been posting his golf swing on his X all week.

This drive just went 240+ and straight, but it looks like I’m hitting an iron(form wise) and not a driver. Drop tips below pic.twitter.com/MHKokGCEck

Mind y’all, this is only week 2 of me golfing and I don’t go to lessons. All my technique comes directly from PGA Tour’s YouTube channel and the golfers playing in it??

TaylorMade then took notice of Gardner’s sudden golf addiction and got him “dialed”.

Incase y’all are wondering, that is the Qi10 Driver in the videos? https://t.co/H4oNIWxW9M

Had a dream I hit a hole-in-one on a Par 5. Woke up and told myself to keep dreaming?

The reigning U.S. Open champion, Bryson DeChambeau, also caught wind of Gardner’s newfound passion. With his massive following and growing YouTube channel, Bryson would be a logical fit to make some content with Sauce.

LMK when you want to come on the channel for a lesson, we’ll get you dialed in @iamSauceGardner

Sauce responded, saying “I think this is what the world wants”.

Hopefully, we can expect some YouTube content in the near future featuring Gardner and DeChambeau.

Lee Westwood is playing on the senior circuit for the first time in his career this week at the U.S. Senior Open. The 50-year-old became eligible on his birthday last April when he turned 50.

Westwood enters the senior major championship in good form, finishing 3rd in his most recent start at LIV Nashville. While speaking prior to the event this week, the Englishman said he’s enjoying the atmosphere so far. He’s also enjoying the fact that the pace of play seems to be better with the older players.

“I’m looking forward to this week and looking forward to the first couple of rounds, playing with a couple of old friends, Miguel [Angel Jimenez] and Jerry Kelly.

“Practice rounds out here are way faster than everywhere else. It’s such a joy, and it’s so refreshing to play nine holes in two hours in a practice round. It’s incredible.

“If the old guys can do it, why can’t the young guys do it?”

Westy added that his game is in “very good shape.”

“I’m hitting the ball well, hitting it a long way. Putting’s good, which it has to be to contend in tournaments no matter where you play.”

Westwood will aim to become the second consecutive LIV player to win a senior major after Richard Bland won the Senior PGA Championship last month.

Caffeine TV, which was the home of live streaming for Friday rounds of LIV Golf in some countries, decided to shut down its service on Wednesday.

The post mentions that a lack of profitability is the reason behind the decision.

As X user “Danby” points out, there are plenty of other ways to watch LIV Golf, including YouTube and the LIV Golf+ app.

I’ve watched nearly every event, and I don’t know what caffeine TV is. I watch exclusively through YouTube and LIV Golf+

It’s a medium for viewing that was inferior to LIV’s own system, which remains unchanged from this. Odd headline.

Keith Hirshland, who is one of LIV’s television producers, added that Caffeine was just one of “many” streaming partners.

one of several LIV Golf Friday streaming partners…
fixed it
